Both my Mother and her mam(who came to Canada with my parents
and lived with us) loved to sing.
They were born in Yorkshire and Northumberland, respectively.
They favoured hymns but also taught us a number of songs which I think must have been Music Hall-type songs. I don't remember the proper titles but they were the likes of "Down Went McGinty", "The Touree on His Bonnet", "Sweet Germany"
(The latter confused me as my grandmother sang: "Germany, sweet Germany,
the little 'Dootch' boy sang" I didn't understand why a Dutch boy was singing about Germany - of course it was her pronunciation of 'Deutsch')

We sang in the home but my favourite memories are of singing on car trips - even just the Sunday afternoon ones we took after Sunday dinner.
When Peter, Paul & Mary came along we learned a lot of the songs off their lps and sang those. (whatever one may think of them, they certainly had a style conducive to the easy transmission of those songs.)
The only songs I remember my father singing were the "Whiffenpoof Song"
and one which went:

"oh (Stephen's) a funny 'un
He's got a face like a pickled onion,
a nose like a squashed tomato,
and two legs like props"

Not a favourite of mine!

I agree that this is a nice idea for a thread. thanks.
